"sanctioned public weirdness"

L.A.'s kitschiest man, local "histotainer" Charles Phoenix, serves as grand marshal of Pasadena's "other" parade, the 32nd Occasional Doo Dah Parade, a once-a-year pageant of sanctioned public weirdness. In the past, it has included such acts as the Synchronized Napping Team and the Bastard Sons of Lee Marvin. Old Town, East Colorado Boulevard and North Raymond Avenue. Pasadena. 11:30 a.m. Sun. Free. www.pasadenadoodahparade.info.

Shown above: the 50 mummers from the 2008 parade.
